Altenew Men's and Women's Cards Part 2

My Previous Post for the final submission for completion of section 1 of the Altenew Academy was rejected due to my misunderstanding of the requirements for the assignment. Although I was disappointed, I was excited to produce new Men's and Women's Card Sets.

\

The theme of the Men's Set is Leaves. I chose several from the two Altenew Leaf Die Sets I have and featured unique backgrounds for each card

The Women's set uses a different technique for each card but they all contain elements from the

Altenew Craft Your Life Lush Garden Project Kit

This background uses the debossed side of the embossing folder and was colored with a combination of brown and orange inks applied wit blending brushes.

The sticker was made using the out line from a dark brown cut and the leaf petals from an orange cut. The edges were then inked using a darker orange ink cube and then adhered to an orange card base

The background for the tree card was made with embossing paste made by mixing white embossing paste mixed with gold alcohol ink.  

The background for the green leaf card uses the embossed side of the leaf embossing folder . Although the attached leaves appear to be black in the photo they are actually gold.

The background for the yellow and green card was made using a multi layered Argyle stencil

                                   The card holder was made using a pattern in Cricut Design Space

  

                                                  

All of the womens cards were made using elements from the Lush Garden Project Kit

A piece of vellum was embellished with red alcohol ink and stamped with the outline stamp using Versa Mark and then embossed with gold embossing powder. It was then die cut.

                      

The embellishment was then attached to an alcohol ink embellished piece of white card stock and adhered to a purple card base

This card has a gold heat embossed outline stamp which coordinates with the 

alcohol ink colored large flower stamp from the Blooming Bouquet stamp and

die set

                         

     

                                                   The purple card was made by using the 3D embossing folder with                                                                    white core card stock and then burnishing with a sand eraser.

 

                      

The last card was colored using Altenew Inks applied

with blending brushes through the stencil from

the Lush Garden Kit

The cards were boxed using a template from Cricut Desing Space
